I downloaded AudioGalaxy. I quickly discovered it's spyware so uninstalled it and ran Ad-aware to remove all references to something it installed called Webhancer. I lost my network connection. An hour on the phone to Dell support removing and reinstalling my network card, restoring yesterdays registry, fixing the registry, etc etc, nothing worked. Finally, in desperation I re-installed Audiogalaxy and my network connection was immediately restored.

This is the most insidious, evil piece of crapware I have ever encountered. How can I get rid of it without wrecking my computer???
